I. INTRODUCTION
> REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR PAPER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (DOUBLE-CLICK HERE TO EDIT) <
A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is
punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A
parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.)
In American English, periods and commas are within
quotation marks, like this period. Other punctuation is
outside! Avoid contractions; for example, write do not
instead of dont. The serial comma is preferred: A, B, and
C instead of A, B and C.
If you wish, you may write in the first person singular or
plural and use the active voice (I observed that ... or We
observed that ... instead of It was observed that ...).
Remember to check spelling. If your native language is not
English, please get a native English-speaking colleague to
carefully proofread your paper.
C. How to Create a PostScript File
First, download a PostScript printer driver from
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/pdrvwin.htm (for
Windows) or from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/
pdrvmac.htm (for Macintosh) and install the Generic
PostScript Printer definition. In Word, paste your figure into
a new document. Print to a file using the PostScript printer
driver. File names should be of the form fig5.ps. Use Open
Type fonts when creating your figures, if possible. A listing of
the acceptable fonts are as follows: Open Type Fonts: Times
Roman, Helvetica, Helvetica Narrow, Courier, Symbol,
Palatino, Avant Garde, Bookman, Zapf Chancery, Zapf
Dingbats, and New Century Schoolbook.
III. MATH
If you are using Word, use either the Microsoft Equation
Editor or the MathType add-on (http://www.mathtype.com)
for equations in your paper (Insert | Object | Create New |
Microsoft Equation or MathType Equation). Float over text
should not be selected.
A. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in
parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). First use the
equation editor to create the equation. Then select the
Equation markup style. Press the tab key and write the
equation number in parentheses. To make your equations more
compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or
appropriate exponents. Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities
in denominators. Punctuate equations when they are part of a
sentence, as in
r2
0
F ( r, ) dr d = [ r2 / ( 2 0 )]
(1)
exp( | z j zi | ) J 1 ( r2 ) J 0 ( ri ) d .

E. Resolution
The proper resolution of your figures will depend on the
type of figure it is as defined in the Types of Figures
section. Author photographs, color, and grayscale figures
should be at least 300dpi. Lineart, including tables should be a
minimum of 600dpi.
F. Vector
Art
While IEEE does accept, and even recommends that authors
submit artwork in vector format, it is our policy is to rasterize
all figures for publication. This is done in order to preserve the
figures integrity across multiple computer platforms.
G. Color
Space
The term color space refers to the entire sum of colors that
can be represented within the said medium. For our purposes,
the three main color spaces are Grayscale, RGB
(red/green/blue) and CMYK (cyan/magenta/yellow/black).
RGB is generally used with on-screen graphics, whereas
CMYK is used for printing purposes.
All color figures should be generated in RGB or CMYK
color space. Grayscale images should be submitted in
Grayscale color space. Line art may be provided in grayscale
OR bitmap colorspace. Note that bitmap colorspace and
bitmap file format are not the same thing. When bitmap
color space is selected, .TIF/.TIFF is the recommended file
format.
H. Accepted Fonts Within Figures
When preparing your graphics IEEE suggests that you use
of one of the following Open Type fonts: Times New Roman,
Helvetica, Arial, Cambria, and Symbol. If you are supplying
EPS, PS, or PDF files all fonts must be embedded. Some fonts
may only be native to your operating system; without the fonts
embedded, parts of the graphic may be distorted or missing.
A safe option when finalizing your figures is to strip out the
fonts before you save the files, creating outline type. This
converts fonts to artwork what will appear uniformly on any
screen.
I. Using Labels Within Figures
1) Figure Axis labels
Figure axis labels are often a source of confusion. Use words
rather than symbols. As an example, write the quantity
Magnetization, or Magnetization M, not just M. Put
units in parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. As in
Fig. 1, for example, write Magnetization (A/m) or
Magnetization (A m 1), not just A/m. Do not label axes
with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write
Temperature (K), not Temperature/K.
Multipliers can be especially confusing. Write
Magnetization (kA/m) or Magnetization (103 A/m). Do
not write Magnetization (A/m) 1000 because the reader
would not know whether the top axis label in Fig. 1 meant
16000 A/m or 0.016 A/m. Figure labels should be legible,
approximately 8 to 10 point type.

from the manuscript in one of the file formats listed above in
section VI-J. Place figure captions below the figures; place
table titles above the tables. Please do not include captions as
part of the figures, or put them in text boxes linked to the
figures. Also, do not place borders around the outside of your
figures.
N. Color
Processing
/
Printing
in
IEEE
Journals
All IEEE Transactions, Journals, and Letters allow an author
to publish color figures on IEEE Xplore at no charge, and
automatically convert them to grayscale for print versions. In
most journals, figures and tables may alternatively be printed
in color if an author chooses to do so. Please note that this
service comes at an extra expense to the author. If you intend
to have print color graphics, include a note with your final
paper indicating which figures or tables you would like to be
handled that way, and stating that you are willing to pay the
additional fee.
VII. CONCLUSION
A conclusion section is not required. Although a conclusion
may review the main points of the paper, do not replicate the
abstract as the conclusion. A conclusion might elaborate on
the importance of the work or suggest applications and
extensions.
APPENDIX
Appendixes, if needed, appear before the acknowledgment.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word acknowledgment in
American English is without an e after the g. Use the
singular heading even if you have many acknowledgments.
Avoid expressions such as One of us (S.B.A.) would like to
thank ... . Instead, write F. A. Author thanks ... . In most
cases, sponsor and financial support acknowledgments are
placed in the unnumbered footnote on the first page, not here.
REFERENCES AND FOOTNOTES
A. References
References need not be cited in text. When they are, number
citations on the line, in square brackets inside the punctuation.
Multiple references are each numbered with separate brackets.
When citing a section in a book, please give the relevant page
numbers. In text, refer simply to the reference number. Do not
use Ref. or reference except at the beginning of a
sentence: Reference [3] shows ... . Please do not use
automatic endnotes in Word, rather, type the reference list at
the end of the paper using the References style.
Reference numbers are set flush left and form a column of
their own, hanging out beyond the body of the reference. The
reference numbers are on the line, enclosed in square brackets.
In all references, the given name of the author or editor is
abbreviated to the initial only and precedes the last name. Use
them all; use et al. only if names are not given. Use commas
around Jr., Sr., and III in names. Abbreviate conference titles.
When citing IEEE transactions, provide the issue number,
page range, volume number, year, and/or month if available.
When referencing a patent, provide the day and the month of
issue, or application. References may not include all
information; please obtain and include relevant information.
Do not combine references. There must be only one reference
with each number. If there is a URL included with the print
reference, it can be included at the end of the reference.
Other than books, capitalize only the first word in a paper
title, except for proper nouns and element symbols. For papers
published in translation journals, please give the English
citation first, followed by the original foreign-language
citation See the end of this document for formats and
examples of common references. For a complete discussion of
references and their formats, see The IEEE Style Manual,
available as a PDF link off the Author Digital Toolbox main
page.
A. Footnotes
Number footnotes separately in superscripts (Insert |
Footnote).1 Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the
column in which it is cited; do not put footnotes in the
reference list (endnotes). Use letters for table footnotes (see
Table I).
> REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR PAPER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (DOUBLE-CLICK HERE TO EDIT) <
information will be used to send each author a complimentary
copy of the journal in which the paper appears. In addition,
designate one author as the corresponding author. This is the
author to whom proofs of the paper will be sent. Proofs are
sent to the corresponding author only.
C. Review Stage Using ScholarOne Manuscripts
Contributions to the Transactions, Journals, and Letters
may be submitted electronically on IEEEs on-line manuscript
submission
and
peer-review
system,
ScholarOne
Manuscripts. You can get a listing of the publications that
participate
in
ScholarOne
at
http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/autho
rs/authors_submission.html First check if you have an existing
account. If there is none, please create a new account. After
logging in, go to your Author Center and click Submit First
Draft of a New Manuscript.
Along with other information, you will be asked to select
the subject from a pull-down list. Depending on the journal,
there are various steps to the submission process; you must
complete all steps for a complete submission. At the end of
each step you must click Save and Continue; just uploading
the paper is not sufficient. After the last step, you should see a
confirmation that the submission is complete. You should also
receive an e-mail confirmation. For inquiries regarding the
submission of your paper on ScholarOne Manuscripts, please
contact oprs-support@ieee.org or call +1 732 465 5861.
ScholarOne Manuscripts will accept files for review in
various formats. Please check the guidelines of the specific
journal for which you plan to submit.
You will be asked to file an electronic copyright form
immediately upon completing the submission process (authors
are responsible for obtaining any security clearances). Failure
to submit the electronic copyright could result in publishing
delays later. You will also have the opportunity to designate
your article as open access if you agree to pay the IEEE
open access fee.
D. Final Stage Using ScholarOne Manuscripts
Upon acceptance, you will receive an email with specific
instructions regarding the submission of your final files. To
avoid any delays in publication, please be sure to follow these
instructions. Most journals require that final submissions be
uploaded through ScholarOne Manuscripts, although some
may still accept final submissions via email.
Final
submissions should include source files of your accepted
manuscript, high quality graphic files, and a formatted pdf file.
If you have any questions regarding the final submission
process, please contact the administrative contact for the
journal.
In addition to this, upload a file with complete contact
information for all authors. Include full mailing addresses,
telephone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses.
Designate the author who submitted the manuscript on
ScholarOne Manuscripts as the corresponding author. This
is the only author to whom proofs of the paper will be sent.
E. Copyright Form
An IEEE copyright form should accompany your final
submission. You can get a .pdf, .html, or .doc version at
http://www.ieee.org/copyright. Authors are responsible for
obtaining any security clearances.
IX. EDITORIAL POLICY
Submission of a manuscript is not required for participation
in a conference. Do not submit a reworked version of a paper
you have submitted or published elsewhere. Do not publish
preliminary data or results. The submitting author is
responsible for obtaining agreement of all coauthors and any
consent required from sponsors before submitting a paper. The
IEEE Transactions and Journals Department strongly
discourages courtesy authorship. It is the obligation of the
authors to cite relevant prior work.
The IEEE Transactions and Journals Department does not
publish conference records or proceedings. The department
does publish papers related to conferences that have been
recommended for publication on the basis of peer review. As a
matter of convenience and service to the technical community,
these topical papers are typically collected and published in
one special issue of most transactions publications.
At least two reviews are required for every paper submitted.
For conference-related papers, the decision to accept or reject
a paper is made by the conference editors and publications
committee; the recommendations of the referees are advisory
only. Indecipherable English is a valid reason for rejection.
There is a service available that will help you improve your
English for a fee, and the link to that service can be found at
http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/index.html.
X. PUBLICATION PRINCIPLES
The two types of contents of that are published are; 1) peerreviewed and 2) archival. The Transactions and Journals
Department publishes scholarly articles of archival value as
well as tutorial expositions and critical reviews of classical
subjects and topics of current interest.
Authors should consider the following points:
1) Technical papers submitted for publication must advance
the state of knowledge and must cite relevant prior work.
2) The length of a submitted paper should be commensurate
with the importance, or appropriate to the complexity, of
the work. For example, an obvious extension of
previously published work might not be appropriate for
publication or might be adequately treated in just a few
pages.
3) Authors must convince both peer reviewers and the
editors of the scientific and technical merit of a paper; the
standards of proof are higher when extraordinary or
unexpected results are reported.
4) Because replication is required for scientific progress,
> REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR PAPER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (DOUBLE-CLICK HERE TO EDIT) <
papers submitted for publication must provide sufficient
information to allow readers to perform similar
experiments or calculations and use the reported results.
Although not everything need be disclosed, a paper must
contain new, useable, and fully described information. For
example, a specimens chemical composition need not be
reported if the main purpose of a paper is to introduce a
new measurement technique. Authors should expect to be
challenged by reviewers if the results are not supported by
adequate data and critical details.
5) Papers that describe ongoing work or announce the latest
technical achievement, which are suitable for presentation
at a professional conference, may not be appropriate for
publication.
